Anytime Babysitter - Maison D'Enfants

We are in search of passionate and energetic “as needed” babysitters to join our Anytime Sitter Team. As an Anytime Sitter you are responsible for providing safe nurturing care, including age appropriate playing, reading, etc. to the children whose family you are sitting for. Light meal preparation (as requested by the family) and light tidying up of children's areas is also an included responsibility. To be successful in this role, you need to have previous child care experience, an interest in childcare and be a strong/effective communicator. We are looking for people who are warm and kind, as well as, able to create clear boundaries with a range of different ages.

As this role is an “as needed” role, we are not able to guarantee a certain amount of paid hours per week. We encourage our Anytime Sitters to have other positions outside of MDE and understand if you are not able to work for every session we share with you. That being said, we do have a minimum requirement of scheduling 4 sitting sessions per month in order to stay an active sitter on our team.
